Serious old vine Marsanne here, microscopic production (60 cases) and I personally drank and/or sold probably 10%!This is on the downslope w/fading tropical fruit, but now secondary layers are pretty sexy w/roasted hazelnuts, butterscotch, dulce de leche mingled w/elements like miso broth & savory. Huge unctuous fat oily & very broad across palate. Need to drink these up!
